Home Grown Produce
Home grown produce is what I do the woman said.
I was not sure what that was, so I had to see for myself.
Her garden was the size of two football fields.
You do all of this yourself? I asked.
She loved that I thought it was a big deal.
I stayed for four hours to see what weeding meant.
I loved it! The sun nurtured my soul.
This is earth therapy, I said. She was pleased.
When she passed on she left me her garden.
Her quilts, her jarred up vegetables.
Now I gladly introduce people to gardening.
I adore what this woman did for my life.
